Spring Break!

I've been looking forward to spring break for several months now. Not because of the sand and surf, but because my family was planning to visit. While my niece still flies for free I encouraged my sister and mom to come visit me over spring break. When we planned the trip there was no way of knowing the kind of winter they were about to endure. They left STL with the threat of a snowstorm and landed in Cali to sun. I would have loved for the weather to have been warmer, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Here's several pics from the trip.

After brunch in La Jolla. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Visiting the Hotel del Coronado.

Beach

Harper loved the sand. 

Harper had no fear of the ocean. The waves knocked her over several times and she still wanted more. Mom had enough after the second or third time she went under. 

Bath time.

Harper loved the park. 

Hugs

Charlotte loved the swing. 

Harper preferred climbing up the slide instead of going down.  

Future musicians?

7 Months Old

7 Months Old

Height: 25.5 inches long; Between 25-50th percentile*
Weight: 15 lbs. 2 oz.; 10-25th percentile (with clothes on)
Head Size: 16.5 inches; 25th percentile*
Diaper Size: Cloth diapers, second to smallest size
Clothes: Some 3-6 month clothes and transitioning to 6-9 month clothes
Sleep: You are still an awesome sleeper, going to bed around 8:00pm and sleeping through the night. When we are home you take a 1-2 hour nap in the morning and another 1-2 hour in the afternoon. 
Eating: You drink 6 oz. of milk every 3-4 hours and are eating pureed baby food. You gobble up everything we give you.
Mommies Milestones: You are growing like a weed. You can pull yourself into a standing position using your activity cube and you look around to make sure we see you. We transitioned you into your new big girl stroller seat. You now have twice as much room to move around. Since you have mastered sitting up (you haven't actually gotten yourself into a sitting position on your own yet) you can sit in the big kids chairs at restaurants, but not in shopping carts just yet. You like to drink out of a straw, but you're not really fond of water. You can say Ba Ba and several other indistinguishable sounds. You went on a series of play dates and joined the MOPS nursery. 

7 Month Favorites

No new toys this month, but we are loving the mint-a-licious color that says spring is right around the corner.

So Far Behind

Well, February came and went and I only posted twice. We had an eventful month so there are many things to post, but not enough time to write. I'll capture Valentine's Day in a different post but, here's what we've been up to thus far.

We had a visit from grandpa, several play dates, MOPS meetings, holidays and a trip to LA. Here are a few photos to catch you up.

Pin-spired March Edition

I have pinned so many outfit inspirations on Pinterest that I was excited when I came across a blog post enouraging us pinners out there to finally put those pins to work. You can get Pin-spired each month too.

Here are the outfits I re-created.

Gray and anything go together, but I love the way these two work together. 

Next outfit..

Chambray shirt paired with leggings and scarf. 

Next Outfit..

The always classic red, black and polka dots.

Final Outfit...

 Mint colored jeans and neutral sweater. 

Me and my mini me.

I love the mint color this season and have so many ideas and color combos, inspired of course by Pinterest. If you like these styles feel free to follow me on Pinterest.

Valentine's Day Part One

Valentine's Day this year was so much fun! I had a great time decorating and making several pins from Etsy. Here's a few pictures from the decorations.

Yarn Wreath

Download the Subway Art print here for FREE! I created it after looking for similar ones to download. 

I know Charlotte has no clue about Valentine's Day, but I had a great time dressing her up for several photoshoots (post coming later), shopped for her gifts and made dinner for the family.

Lunch date with mommy, next a visit to daddy's work. 

The loot minus mommy's gift. Valentine's card and daddy's cup idea were both from Pinterest.
